The estate is located on the North Shore of Long Island and was first owned by J.P. Morgan's grandson, Junius Spencer Morgan III. Its most recent owner was socialite and real estate broker Margo Walker.
Below are highlights of the island and its amenities, which include a 27,000-square-foot mansion, 250-foot-long dock, horse stables, and an eight-car garage. The property is being sold by Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. Let's take a look around.
Less than an hour from New York City, the island is more than 85 acres.

The main residence is known as the "Manor House."
It was built by Junius Spencer Morgan III in 1919.
The main house is the largest on the island, at 27,000 square feet.
It has 11 total bedrooms.

The house featured prominently in the 1995 remake of the film "Sabrina."
The main dining room (though not the one pictured here) can reportedly seat 100 people.
The yard outside the house was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the architect behind Central Park.
Naturally, there's a pool.
After a few decades, Morgan started feeling a little lonely on the island, so he let some of his friends build houses there. This one is known as the "Creek House."

Jackie Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy both spent time on the island.
It's no surprise that the other residents also built pools.
While the other homes are smaller than the Manor House, they were designed with a similar level of luxury in mind.
Ornate furniture, carpets, and wood paneling are common throughout the island.
The other homes tend to favor (slightly) more minimalist designs than the Manor House, however.

And, in some cases, they opted for brighter colors and more natural light ...
... as evidenced by the "Pond House."
The island also contains three smaller cottages.
Of course, they won't seem too small to anyone used to living in a cramped apartment.
Here's the third cottage.

For just $125 million, it can all be yours.
